The Oath of the Crown or Oath of the Ancients can also fit this, although a bit less explicitly (Crown is about the "ideals of civilization" and Ancients is more supportive of happiness and beauty then honor and justice).

* WeakButSkilled: The Sorcerer actually manages to be both this and UnskilledButStrong compared to the Wizard due to their primary mechanic - metamagic. It's inevitable the two classes draw comparisons, and a close look at the Wizard's Arcane Traditions reveals each one has an equivalent (or, in the Evoker's case, two equivalents) power to one of the Sorcerer's metamagic options. In almost all cases, this equivalent is better than the Sorcerer metamagic, but at a cost; the Evoker's Overchannel, for example, is structurally similar to the Sorcerer's Empowered Spell, but maximizes damage instead of increasing it slightly. In return, using Overchannel more than once ''blows up the Wizard,'' it only works on Evocation spells, and it can't strengthen spells of spell level 6 or higher. In general, the Wizard's equivalents ''must'' use spells of the school the Arcane Tradition is associated with, often can only be used once per rest, and the Wizard will only get at most two of these. The Sorcerer gets far more (and starts with more metamagic, to boot), only ever needs to use Sorcery Points as currency for these abilities, can retrain their options, is far more varied in how it can apply these abilites, ''and'' never suffer for using these abilities. In addition, the Wizard has yet to gain an equivalent to Subtle Spell or Quickened Spell, which gives the Sorcerer a unique edge over their bookish counterparts.

So while players may mock the sorcerer for lacking the same options as other casters, none of them can deny how important it is pass concentration checks when flying 100 feet above the ground, or setting up combos with Haste, or guarding with Stone-Skin when you ''really' can't afford to take full damage.
** The Draconic Bloodline’s starting feature gives them an extra hit point per level, and an AC on par with ''mage armor''. It’s less flashy than what other Sorcerers get at 1st level, but it frees up a valuable spell (and spell slot) while making Draconic Sorcerers the toughest of their ilk.
** As a class, sorcerers are the only full-casters with automatic proficency in Constitution saves. Concentration checks are made with Constitution, so a sorcerer is, by default, better at concentrating on spells than other casters.

Arcane Firearms are actually standard arcane spell-casting focuses such as wands, staves, and rods with special magical sigils carved into them. The Eldritch cannon is actually a small or tiny sized magical object configured to act as a Force Ballista (fires bolts of force with enough punch to knock creatures back), Flamethrower, or Protector which grants it self and creatures designated by the creator Temporary HP standing within a small radius of it.
